FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

Is that a dinosaur claw??!!
It looks small for a claw, could it be a thumb spike?
It could be the claw of a small or juvenile organism but I’m not sure. I’m also not sure that it’s from a dinosaur, but it’s very possible. Maybe @matthew-gramling could be of more help.
Not a claw, its a tooth. Needs more research to find out from what.
Greetings @a-trilobite and @david-hammer ! I believe this actually a tooth with a mammal tooth with the root attached. If it’s consistent with your other finds, then I assume it’s a late Paleogen or early Neogene mammalian tooth. Most likely omnivorous or carnivorous from the tooth shape.
Good! I was just about to tag you @bill-heim
The major formations date from the late Miocene (Tortonian to Zanclean): Yorktown Formation and Duplin Formation.
Then there are two Cretaceous formations: Cape Gear and Black Creek.
I know this post was a while ago I know what it is it is A dolphin ear bone and I am 100% sure that is the correct identification!
Definitely not a dolphin ear bone
